Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.
But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen - and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life.
I wasn't very sure of this book when I first decided to dwell into it. It had gotten pretty mixed reviews and most of them (that I read/watched) were kind of bad. I was running out of time to pick a book so I just quickly grabbed this one. And I am VERY happy that I did! This book kept me up for hours because I couldn't put it down! It is definetly one of my favorite books.
Becca Fitzpatrick did a GREAT job with these characters. I loved the different personalities that each character possessed and I felt really connected to them. The writing made me feel all different kinds of emotion for these characters, something that doesn't usually happen for me. I felt like I was Nora and that I was the one experiencing all of the things she did. The writing was quite superb!
I loved how you didn't know what was going to happen next. ALL of my predictions were proven to be incorrect. This book was so romantic and mysterious and I LOVED IT! It makes me wish that I was Nora and Patch was real. Oh, Patch. Definetly the hottest guy I have ever read about ;)
So, my overall rating for this book is... 5 stars! A great book with great characters and a page turner. I would reccomend this book to anyone and everyone looking for a good paranormal romance!
Happy Reading :)
